all about this and that

Just finished my 3-11 duty at the hospital and for the first time since i started my hospital rotation … my energy level is still up … mmm well physically i guess people would say i’m beaten ( unkept hair, shiny oily kadiri face, dishevelled uniform) but well it’s just the facade and at 12:00mn who gives a damn anyway? heheheh

so far this day’s duty has been quite relaxing compared to the previous ones, my patient was not very difficult to manage, a 3 yrs old very pretty baby diagnosed with bronchial pneumonia who loves to sing ( ang tigulang… bisan bako..naningkamot mubarog.. mutindog aron mulabyog!(i dont know if the lyrics has a double meaning! hehehe)), however being an amateur (to the highest degree) on this field i still have my fears and really ..i panic a lot. yah even with only a kid singing "ang tigulang" as my patient. my mind would jump at a sec to the repercussions if things are not done the right way… ahhh forgive the weak heart of neophyte.. i just cant help it.

ok today i was assigned to a 3 yrs old kid….mmmmm a what!? kid again?? oh my gosh will i not graduate from the pediatric ward? from the time i set foot as a student nurse in the hospital my patients has been kids and toddlers and kids and toddlers and ahh! well some would probably ask "hey girl why complain? don’t you just love ‘em angels? with their sweet and innocent smiles and twinkling eyes….oooooohhh cutieee!!!"  Now people, its time to set the record straight. Angels they are NOT. they would turn into monsters at the sight of a stethoscope, they would throw tantrums when you attempt to check their vital signs, they would scream at the top of their lungs even when you’r merely looking at them! ( isn’t that insulting?!) anyway we are there to do our job come hell or high water. what to do? BE CHARMING! Someone who would put Pong Pagong to shame; BE CREATIVE! try to stop the urge to strangle the kid with your tape measure and just make it look like a toy; BE FUNNY! heheh i know someone who really danced just to get a kid’s attention…me? oh well i guess when my creativity has totally run out and everythings been exhausted, i would =(.

at midshift today i’ve been asking the lizard in the ceiling…. "is this a sign?? am i destined to be a pedia nurse?" (i have time to wander so far the patient has been highly cooperative!and she’s my ONLY patient! Bongga!)and it seemed it answered back, "girl naman think again! perhaps the fate has just been extra nice to you lately knowing you want a kid of your own!"  OH come on! it doesnt mean that since i want to grab the 3 yr old and put it in my bag, and carry it home with me i already want one! (is there any sense? i guess im already droggy =) ) i must stop here before this gets too long and self incriminating =)

tomorrow will it be a pedia case again? if yes, well i must say it is a sign!
